Giving Tuesday is all about helping your fellow human and spreading kindness. There are many ways to show people you care. You can donate your time or money to a charity or do something nice for a stranger. Whatever you do this year, it is certainly the thought that counts.
This year, as well as the past few years, our CEO has given to a local organization called Home of the Sparrow (HOS). They provide “Hope, Opportunity, and Support that empowers women and children as they journey from homelessness to self-sufficiency.” The struggles that these individuals endure are becoming more common and it is important to our company that we do what we can to help. If you’d like to learn more about HOS, check them out here. You can also read the sweet thank you letter we received from HOS below.
While we all may not be able to contribute in the same way, we challenge you to do something to give back today. It can literally be anything, as long as generosity is in your heart. For ideas, go to GivingTuesday.org.

These days we’re dealing with low stock and out of stock products quite frequently, on top of long delays in some cases. With some of those products having a 6 to 8 week lead time, it could certainly affect your project’s timeframe.
Most recently, we’ve seen a shortage in the Peplink MAX BR1 Mini router, specifically the Cat 6 model. Aside from the Pepwave Surf SOHO, this has been one of Peplink’s most popular router solutions. It’s compact size and affordable price make it the ideal choice for any application.
Several companies are currently without stock of this BR1 Mini. Thankfully, we have stock available at this time, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you’re in need!
We ship Monday thru Friday, with a cut off time of 3pm CT. Give us a call, send us an email, or reach out via our online chat for more information.
5Gstore is excited to announce we are now stocking and shipping new products from award winning Digi. Digi has been a pioneer in the M2M/ IoT market for over 30 years. In this time, their products have adapted to evolving network standards, and optimized data communications around the most advanced protocols and emerging technologies. From radio frequency modems to gateways, cellular routers, and networking devices, Digi’s solutions have continually grown to serve the full breadth of applications across the IoT landscape. New products will include: EX12, EX50, IX10, and IX20.
EX12
We’d like to highlight the EX12 Cellular extender first. This is great for users wanting a failover solution for their small network (i.e. POS systems, ATMs, Kiosks, etc). The EX12 has a built-in, carrier certified Cat4 LTE modem with redundant SIM slots. This allows for an additional failover with the same or different cellular carrier. Deployments are streamlined with installation accessories including an optional Remote Mounting Kit with a disposable battery pack for site survey, mounting bracket and a passive PoE injector for optimizing placement for the best cellular reception. If needed, a serial port for Out of Band management is also available.
EX12
EX50
Next, for the power user, we have the EX50, complete with a 5G modem and redundant SIM slots. WiFi support is with the newest, version 6, and Ethernet ports support up to 2.5Gbps. This means users can achieve the full benefits of the cellular bandwidth over wired and wireless connections. Extended temperature range and multiple mounting solutions gives this unit the flexibility to be installed in more industrial environments.
EX50
IX10
For a more ruggedized and compact solution, check out the IX10. This router offers low-touch and no-touch provisioning and features a Cat4 LTE modem (with redundant SIM slots) along with a RJ-45 serial port supporting both RS-232 and RS-485. Its flexible power and connectivity options make it a versatile choice for industrial, digital signage, ATMs, kiosks and other unattended retail applications that need to provide secure transactions.
IX10
IX20
Similar to the IX10, but larger and more feature packed, we have the IX20 with or without WiFi. This is available with a FirstNet ready modem and is prepared for any application. Its compact size and rugged hardware give any user a simple, yet advanced option for securing their network and providing automatic failover. The router supports advanced security (stateful firewall, MAC filtering and VPN), cellular redundancy (via Digi SureLink®) and management (SNMP, event logging, analyzer trace and QOS), facilitating use in PCI or NERC-CIP compliant applications.
IX20
Digi Remote Manager
For all Digi products you also have access to Remote Management via Digi Remote Manager. Digi RM is a cloud-based solution that facilitates easy setup, mass configuration, maintenance and support, even for thousands of devices. Digi Remote Manager lets you evaluate, update and configure your Digi enterprise routers and gateways — and the health of your network — at scale, after deployment. Digi RM also provides secure, out-of-band management access to Digi units through serial ports and command-line interface.
Digi Remote Manager
Digi SureLink
In addition to Digi RM, all of Digi’s cellular products support the Digi SureLink “keep-alive” function. This makes sure the connection will be there when it’s needed. A programmable inactivity timer and a pro-active link integrity function are available. Digi SureLink includes link integrity monitoring, with three test options.
Digi SureLink
5Gstore is delighted to bring you Digi products and is excited about this new partnership. If you are interested in these products and want to learn more, please reach out to the team at 5Gstore to learn more!
5Gstore began as a small company around 2005. Starting in 2009, we were recognized by the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and given an A+ rating. 13 years years later and we still have an A+ rating. Congratulations go to the 5Gstore team on this fantastic accomplishment!
The scoring of 5Gstore’s top products comes from a combination of their popularity as well as the number of customer reviews they received and the average rating customers gave the product. Many of this year’s winners, like the IP Switch (both the single outlet and dual outlet versions) and Pepwave Max BR1 Mini are perennial favorites and have appeared on our “best of” lists for years. Others, like the Wilson Wide-Band Yagi antenna and MobileMark LTM antennas are new to the list this year.
Congratulations to all of the manufacturers of our 2021 top products!

“Excellent full function mobile router, InControl makes for easy remote management.”
Allows you to remotely monitor and reboot up to two pieces of equipment via smartphone apporcloud.
“It’s important to me to have my router power cycle while I’m away from home for extended periods of time. The Remote Power Switch provides the ability to set specific power cycle schedules to fit my request. It’s convenient to program the switch remotely via software.”
“This will save me alot of travel time having to reset everything.”
“The EZ-62b IP auto-switch is a great little piece of hardware. It seems to work better than a previous model, the EZ-22b which was a little hit and miss. I’ve tested the EZ-62b extensively and for the money, I’m really impressed.”
“Does exactly what it’s supposed to. If only they could help with my kids!”
Pepwave MAX Transit Mini Vehicle router with 1 embedded Cat 4 LTE modem for failover or bonding.
“Excellent product which I purchased as an upgrade to my NetGear LB1120 for home Internet connectivity. All I can say is that I am extremely impressed with all the networking options available.”
Pepwave Surf SOHO Easy-to-use, feature-rich 3G/4G router for home and travel.
“Plugged in ATT air card and it picked right up and worked. Easy install and a solid product.”
“The security on this SOHO WiFi router is comparable to professional grade equipment. It’s the 2nd one that I have purchased. I am quite satisfied with this router. I am using this one with an internet stick as the primary link and it is working flawlessly.”
“I am currently using this antenna in combination with a Pepwave MAX Transit Router With Cat 18 LTE Modem in my home office. I mounted the antenna to a pole outside, pointed it towards the correct cell tower and BAM!!! DL speed 90-96 Mbs, UL speed 45-50 Mbs. Very pleased!”
“This antenna provided 12 dB of improvement for my application. Yeah the antenna is only good for 9 dB gain, the rest must have come from raising it higher on the building to shoot over some trees. I’m very happy with the results, downloads of 40Mbit now (compared to 20Mbit before).”
MobileMark LTM Antennas Thru-roof style, MiMo antenna with frequency support for LTE connections, as well as WiFi and GPS support on some models.
“The MLTM301 seems to be a solid built unit that feels beefy and with good materials and workmanship of assembly. Wire harness and fittings are likewise of good quality material.”
“Used with a CradlePoint router. Was only getting 5 to 15 Mbits/s download with the supplied paddle antennas. Connected this Yagi antenna pointed at the cell tower and now get consistent 25 Mbits/s download speeds.”
“I have been fighting weak signal problems for five years now because of my remote location .. Finally I can connect at 4g speeds thanks to this antenna.”
